1. Temperature/ Environment.

By temperature I mean your environment’s temperature. This is very subtle. Just imagine these two scenarios. One is, you are in a place that’s sweaty, even just above the normal temperature, and the other one is in an AC room. Which one you feel comfortable in? Obviously you’d say “AC Room”. Now why is that? It looks simple but it’s nuanced. The temperature can alter your behavior, to some degree very clearly. If the electricity is off for 10 minutes, we know the power of the fan. The temperature is not only to feel normal, it very much dictates our thoughts. What you see, ie, your environment and your surroundings has strong impact on what you think and how you feel. I’ll give you an example which made this very post. This is the place where I’m writing this post. (Insert Images)

Like you can see this post’s idea has come from here. I would say there’s a 90% chance this idea wouldn’t have come if I had chosen a different place, just this time. Now you don’t have to go to a fancy place. Just make sure you’re in a decently cool natural place with preferably plants around you. There’s something subconscious about being outdoors that’s just feels right. So even if you can’t get one right, for example, temperature, get environment right. If temperature and environment both are against you, and you are unaware of this, then you will feel difficult to do whatever you want to accomplish. If you can’t change any of these, atleast one thing you can do is just take bath, maybe twice a day. So that your skin is receptive to absorbing the coolness of the air. That’s a secret there.

2. Clothes

Next let’s talk about Clothes. The clothes that you wear should make you feel comfortable. The cool part about clothes is that it’s the easiest and cheapest thing you can change among these 5. Maybe you have comfortable clothes with you already. I prefer a cotton tshirt and cotton shorts, just keep it simple. There are varieties in cotton itself. Just go for the quality ones like supima cotton. It’s just awesome. When we talk about sleeves on tshirt, a half sleeve is usually great. It looks decent and just right to go anywhere. If this is not possible for you, then try something similar to cotton. And also being aware of it is an important point. When you feel in a certain way, just fix the clothes and see if you feel differently. This all sounds silly, but it’s not.

3. Money

This one is very obvious. You need money to be comfortable. Whether it’s food or a phone, you need them. Or else it can get ugly. You gotta make money. There’s no other way. You need to acquire skills and knowledge and keep yourself updated everyday to thrive in today’s tech oriented world. Now you don’t want to be fully loaded with information all the time. Maybe weekly you can get to know what’s happening in your industry. Ok. Let’s zoom out. Money. Now how much you need is the question. Because you have all the money and no time, then what’s the point? So there should be a balance between time and money so that you enjoy life and not just chase money. Money is like oxygen, you need money to have a comfortable life. But it’s not everything.

4. People

Loneliness is real. People will never tell anyone but it’s very much present and it keeps increasing in today’s digital world. This is a little more visible than our first point on temperature. You need people to share and talk stuff with. I mean you need new people in your life. It’s not the friends and family I’m talking about. It’s new people. People who you wish to talk to, people who are new to you, these things add interesting elements to our lives. So if you want to talk to someone, throw a solid approach and let things play out. Once we experience something, we actually know how something feels like. So unless you feel the loneliness, you cannot know what really it is. Some people are so pity that their entire life goes like this. You don’t want to be one of those people. Get talking to new people.

5. Creativity

Now this is a little bit difficult to understand and execute. But the thing is you need to create something that you can monetize, that means that you can earn from your creations, maybe an Instagram page, YouTube channel, or whatever. There is something interesting in creating something new that it can make you feel you less lonely maybe, it’s not an entire substitute but it’s got the potential to make loneliness less felt. Now creativity is not something super creative it’s just you created something and make some money on the side. It’s really easy to grasp. Now what to create and how to monetize involves much more paying attention to what you like and your lifestyle and your aspirations. Now what am I doing? I’m creating this post and maybe I’ll make some money in the future for this post in some way. Now does this require creativity? Maybe some. It’s more of “observational” post than a creative post but you get the point. It’s about creating something that’s new and you share and potentially monetize down the line. It’s that kind of stuff I’m talking about.

1. Google Docs:

Pretty simple. I use Google Docs to write about posts for my social media content and blog posts, for these two pages mainly, one is this one (slgl.fun) and the other one is friendswithfinance_(fwfi.in).

Also for all personal related writing, I do it in Google docs.

It’s just simple and fast. I try to finish the typing part in one go. Usually it takes 45 minutes for me to write 1000 words and that’s what I aim for, at least for now.

I can always increase it right? And I also believe that if I give some time after the first draft, it can get better, but it also takes time so initially I have this plan to go with volume and the quality and speed will improve automatically.

That’s my idea. And sometimes I don’t even fully complete 1000 words. Mostly I will cross 1000 but sometimes I may finish at 950 and just feel great about it. Or like this one where it’s just 500 words and I’m ok with it. Because it’s about the idea, right. I can stretch this post to 1000 words, but why? Because word count is important 😂. And also I can always come back and add to this post. Voila!

2. Chrome:

Once the post, typically 1000 words, is ready it goes to my blog first.

Then I head over to Canva and start repurposing it for specific platforms.

For graphics, I prefer freepik.com premium version.

3. Once the text content is ready, I go to canva and start preparing the outlines and post ideas.

I don’t think too much and obsess over quality at all.

I just write whatever I like just to keep writing whatever I like, like this one.

For me it’s just the post idea, right? Is the post interesting enough for my target audience to consume? That’s all.

I just push out more content and not worry about the quality. Quality is tricky, we all know that game.

So in canva I put all the graphics and text, and make ready for the posts to go to Instagram.

Then I post it on Instagram on the relevant area, carousel, stories etc.

4. Meta Ads:

Actually currently I prefer paid ads because of the certainty it brings. I’m not against organic reach.

It’s just low cost so I go with it.

Organic reach is great, it’s just that that is secondary for me. Just personal preference.

Once I run ads I get some motivation to make other content and the cycle keeps continuing.

5. YouTube: Once I’m done with the content and posting, I just listen to some songs and watch YouTube content, premium, by the way, I don’t like interruption by ads, I mean who does? After YouTube is over, I just keep silent and not mess anything. That’s for the day.

Also I try to be social. This is not of course everyday.

Of course I take leaves whenever I feel like I need to communicate with people, and whatnot.

Hey, welcome to slgl.fun, here today we are going to see How to Become A Faceless Content Creator.

Today we are going to see how to create content if you never create one.

Content is any media you create like text, audio, images or video.

One important factor to content creation is the TOOL. The tool determines your ability to create certain types of content.

For example, if you only have a smartphone, then think about creating animated video content.

It’s just impossible.

Likewise, creating audio content anywhere anytime on a smartphone is much easier than lets say creating a carousel for Instagram.

So TOOL is number one.

People think about content and they think they need to be an expert in that particular area.

But it doesn’t have to be like that, especially if you’re creating on social media, which favors interest in a particular topic rather than expertise.In Social media like Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, threads, you can create interesting content that needs to revolve around information.

You can talk about anything and you can get more attention because of various reasons, one being the visual quality of the content.

Let’s say you are an expert in a field and you don’t know how to produce it for Instagram Reels, you just record it without any graphics or animation, now this Reels chance of performing is hugely reduced because of two things.

First you selected Instagram for an information based topic, which the platform resists somewhat, secondly you didn’t produce it in a way that vibes with the nature of reels.

So like this, there are many parts to content creation, it’s not just about content or creation, it’s mostly and mainly about the creator.

The creator should be fairly optimized with this life and lifestyle to produce content for the audience for long periods of time.

Also motivation is a huge factor when it’s about content.

So, okay, now you like to gain followers and you are excited to make content on Instagram, lets say.

Now the first thing is what you want to talk about, selecting the topic or the niche.Y

ou see this is where it gets tricky, previously i mentioned, if its information then its difficult on Instagram because of the vibe of the platform.

Yes, if it’s information based topics like finance, then also it will work on instagram but what if i told you that the content you planned to put on Instagram will do much better if you just put it on Reddit, lets say.

Because the reddit platform is perfect for finance.Likewise, there are some strategic moves you could do to start off right.

Ok, Now you like tea, let’s take that because I drink tea, so it helps me to think about it.

Next, why are you even making content is the question that one needs to ask.

There are two main reasons one makes content, one is obviously money and other one is admiration. Others may say they like the comfort of working from anywhere, anytime, like these.

So one should lay out the goal of the content before starting the process of content creation.Let’s say you want to make money and live the internet lifestyle.

Great. Let’s hit it.First you have to pick something you’re interested in and you can talk casually about. Let’s pick tea as an example here.

Now I like tea and I want to make money with this by creating content.Now that we have selected tea, lets select the age group, not platform, AGE group of audience that you want to attract.

Well, since this is tea, it can go all over the place from 10 to 90 year olds.So let’s take 20-40 year olds, which is again broad, but its okay.

Now lets pick the platform with this audience group, it will turn out to be Instagram and Facebook, which are great for these.Now what’s the next step?

Next step is about reach.

How can you reach your audience? How is the organic reach on the platform? How much do ads cost to reach 1000 people interested in tea?

We have to know this because it is easy to get and it’s very important.Once reach is sorted out, then it’s about the CONTENT and CONTENT FORMAT and about the business.Now let’s create some content around tea.

Wait! Wait!

We left one thing.

MONETIZATION.

How are you going to monetize this tea content business?Are you going to send traffic to your site that talks about tea and get tea likers to read and monetize through ads or you just want to sell your favorite brands tea for a commission?

Anything, just figure it out at first.Because the audience and the monetization methods are very important to start with.Because the audience and monetization methods are two main pillars in this process.

Because the content you make will revolve around these parts.

Ok, let’s say we are going to monetize our content through Ads. Ok? Easy.

Now we should create content like text, images, carousels, infographics and run ads against the age group with the interest for tea.

We will gain followers gradually or faster corresponding to how we run our ads if we are going with paid ads or organic reach if we are going with organic reach.

As this starts happening, we will get our site and site content ready to be promoted on instagram and facebook.

Since we are monetizing it through the blog/website, we need to put enough content and make the site completely optimized before applying for Google Adsense.

In this way, your site is ready to be monetized versus being rejected.

So I hope this article sheds some light for you if you, especially a faceless creator, rely heavily on graphics and not on your face for content.

Whatever content you create, whether with your face or without, how well you can get the message across depends on your ability.

Videos with a human face tend to grab attention easily compared to a non human face video content, but still there are many ways you can try to get your content across by different content formats.

I will see you in the next post.
